Hi!,
i didn't use the <jsp:useBean> tag at all, because i made an idGeneratorBean that
creates a
unique id for a person. Right now this means that <jsp:useBean ... /> cannot create a
person
because it doesn't know how to give that person a unique id...
So you are saying that the usebean tag should create the instance of my person bean?
and only
after that can i try getProperty and setProperty?
This would mean some re-writing of my beans, so something like below WOULD work?
:::::::::::
add.jsp
:::::::::::
<jsp:useBean id="idgen" class="nl.step.stepdb.idgen.interfaces.IdGenerator"
scope="page"/>
<jsp:useBean id="person" class="nl.step.stepdb.person.interfaces.Person" scope="page/>
<% person.setId(idgen.createId("Person")); %>
<jsp:setProperty name="person" property="*"/>
just for arguments sake, why does then usebean tag need to create a bean before i can
use set-
and getProperty on it?
thnx,
-Alexander.
